Supreme Court leans toward further weakening landmark Voting Rights Act

The conservative majority seems willing to raise the bar on plaintiffs seeking to challenge legislative district maps for violating the 1965 law aimed at protecting minority voters.

Assaulting officers?? I saw the video. Ayoung woman wanted to move a sign out of the way, for the group to proceed. If that's assaulting, I recommend that nobody stand closer than 6 ft from this man when conversing!
